ISBN # 978-1-7390697-0-4 A promising result from some routine medical research was an exciting outcome for Paul and Matt Berg, until they found themselves in a desperate struggle with an aging matriarch of an industrial empire in France. She wants their research as a centrepiece for the hospital that she is building as a legacy to her late husband. To force the brothers to hand over their research, she has Paul's daughter Nicky, abducted from a tournament in Beijing. When Paul and his friend Dr. Tricia Chen fly to Beijing, they find that, not only has Nicky been flown to France, but the Chinese government also intends to expropriate their research. Interpol agent Michelle Denis locates where Nicky is being held in the Dordogne, and forms a rescue plan. As the situation escalates, it becomes clear that handing over the research to either group will not resolve the situation. The action concludes in Paris, where they all work frantically to produce a solution that will keep all of them alive.
